It depends. In general, fine monies often go into a victim's compensation fund that is used to pay crime victims when the perpetrator cannot be found and/or cannot afford restitution to the victim.
Other particular types of fines may go to specialized purposes designated by governments (i.e. food health fines may go to fund food inspectors; traffic fines _may_ go to road building funds, etc.)

The state divides them up evenly between the court, state tax, police dept, law enforcment grants etc. Speedings tickets are mostly handed to law enforcment agencies such as court, crime labs, police dept.

In NC, by the state Constitution, all fines and forfeitures go to the counties to support public schools.
